Club career

Sassuolo

Youth career

Born in

Sassuolo at the age of 16.[8][9]

2012–13 season

He made his senior debut for Sassuolo in

Crotone.[11][12] In 2013, he was named Best Player of the Serie B in the past season in the annual Gran Galà del calcio awards, after helping Sassuolo win the Serie B title, and a historic promotion to Serie A, scoring 11 goals.[13] In June 2013, he was described as the "undoubted star of the [Sassuolo] side."[14]

2013–14 season

On 2 September 2013,

Sampdoria on 3 November 2013.[21]

On 12 January 2014, Berardi scored all four goals in a 4–3 home win against

AC Milan. In doing so, he became the second youngest player to score four goals in a single Serie A match – the youngest was the 18-year-old Silvio Piola in 1931 – and the first player to score four in a league match against Milan.[22][23] On 6 May 2014, Berardi scored a first-half hat-trick in 4–3 away win at Fiorentina.[24][25] He finished the season with 16 goals in 29 games in the league as Sassuolo avoided relegation.[11]

2014–15 season

In July 2014, Berardi's agent confirmed that he would remain on loan at Sassuolo for another season;

co-ownership deal was also renewed on 20 June 2014.[27]

On 17 May 2015, he scored a hat-trick at the Mapei Stadium in a 3–2 win over Milan.[28] He finished the 2014–15 Serie A season with 15 goals and 10 assists, and was one of the top assist providers in the league.[29] He reached 30 league goals in 59 games, noted by UEFA to be quicker than the 70 matches taken for Lionel Messi to reach that milestone;[30] at the age of 20, he also became the youngest player to reach 30 Serie A goals since 1958.[31]

2015–16 season

On 25 June 2015, it was announced through an official statement that co-ownership was resolved in favour of Sassuolo for €10 million.[32][33][34] It was reported that it was part of Simone Zaza's deal to Juventus. However, Juventus also retained the option to bring Berardi back to Turin in 2016.[35]

Berardi opened the

Lazio on 18 October 2015.[39] Sassuolo finished the league season in sixth place, sealing a spot in the third qualifying round of the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League.[40]

2016–17 season

On 28 July 2016, Berardi made his debut in European competitions in the first leg of a third-round UEFA Europa League qualifying match against

Torino on 8 January 2017.[49]

2017–present

On 24 August 2017, Berardi signed a five-year contract with Sassuolo.[50]

On 19 August 2018, Berardi scored a goal from a penalty in a 1–0 home win over Inter Milan, in the first match of the 2018–19 Serie A season.[51]

On 1 September 2019, Berardi netted a hat-trick in a 4–1 win over

Sampdoria.[52]

On 17 April 2021, Berardi scored twice as Sassuolo came from behind to beat Fiorentina by a score of 3–1.[53] This meant that Berardi had reached 100 goals in all competitions for the Neroverdi since debuting for the club in the Serie B in August 2012.[54] On 23 May 2021, Berardi scored his 17th goal of the 2020–21 Serie A season in a 2–0 win over Lazio.[55] It was Berardi's best goal-scoring season in his professional career and helped Sassuolo to an 8th place finish, missing out on European competition on goal difference.[56]

On 18 March 2022, Berardi scored twice in a 4–1 home win over Spezia; his second goal, which came from a penalty, was his 100th goal in Serie A, all of which came with Sassuolo.[57]

On 23 September 2023, Berardi celebrated his milestone of 300 games in Serie A with a goal against Juventus, in the eventual 4–2 home win.[58] On 28 September 2023, during weekday away game against Inter Milan, he scored the winning goal in a 2–1 comeback for Sassuolo.[59]

On 3 March 2024, after returning to action from an injury to his left knee in January, Berardi suffered an apparent injury to his right ankle in the second half of a 1–0 away defeat to Verona in Serie A, which forced him off the pitch.[60]

International career

Youth

Berardi was a component of the Italian under-19 national team, but did not answer his call-up for qualifications to the European Championship of the age group and was disqualified for nine months for violation of the code of ethics.[61][62]

Berardi has played for the Italian under-21 national team.[11] He received his first call-up on 28 February 2014, for the team's European qualifying match against Northern Ireland on 5 March.[63] On 2 March, however, he elbowed Cristian Molinaro during Sassuolo's league fixture against Parma, and was subsequently excluded from the squad for violating the team's code of ethics.[64] He made his debut under Italy under-21 manager Luigi Di Biagio on 4 June 2014, in a 4–0 home win over Montenegro.[65] He scored his first goal on his third appearance for the azzurrini, the match-winning goal in a 3–2 win over Serbia in a 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying match, which allowed Italy to progress to the playoffs, and eventually qualify for the final tournament, which would be held in the Czech Republic.[66]

On 1 June 2015, Berardi was selected in Di Biagio's 27-man provisional squad for the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship;

Sweden, on 18 June, which ended in a 2–1 loss.[30] On 24 June, he set up Andrea Belotti's goal in Italy's 3–1 win over England in Italy's final group match, although the result was not enough to see the Italian under-21 side progress to the semi-finals, as the azzurrini finished third in their group, behind the two eventual finalists Portugal and Sweden.[69]

In June 2017, Berardi was included in the Italy under-21 squad for the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship by manager Di Biagio.[70] In Italy's second group match on 21 June, he scored his team's only goal in a 3–1 defeat to Czech Republic.[71] Italy were eliminated by Spain in the semi-finals on 27 June, following a 3–1 defeat.[72]

Senior

Berardi received his first

Empoli on 4 October, however, which forced him to pull out of the national side for the two upcoming fixtures.[73][74]

In May 2017, Berardi was selected by Italy's senior head coach Gian Piero Ventura for the team's unofficial friendly against San Marino in Empoli on 31 May.[75][76] He made his unofficial senior international debut in the match, captaining the squad, and starting in Italy's eventual 8–0 win, setting up Gianluca Lapadula's second goal.[77][78][79]

Berardi made his official senior international debut for Italy under Roberto Mancini, starting in a 3–1 friendly loss to France in Nice on 1 June 2018.[80][81]

Berardi scored his first senior goal for the national team on 7 October 2020, the final goal of a 6–0 home win against Moldova in a friendly match.[82]

In June 2021, Berardi was included in Italy's squad for

final, after a 1–1 draw in extra-time; Berardi came on as a substitute for Ciro Immobile in the second half of regulation time, and later scored Italy's first spot-kick in the shoot-out.[86]

On 10 October, Berardi scored the match–winning goal from a penalty in a 2–1 home victory over Belgium in the bronze medal match of the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League.[87]

Style of play

A quick, tenacious, technically gifted and hardworking left-footed

set-piece and penalty taker.[88][95] Berardi is regarded as one of the most talented and promising young footballers of his generation;[31][96] in 2013, 2014, and 2015, Don Balón listed him as one of the top-100 young players in the world.[97][98][99]

In 2014, former

AC Milan and Italy manager Arrigo Sacchi described Berardi as "a player of great talent, a modern footballer who constantly plays with and for the team all over the field. Liveliness, intuition, temperament, physical strength, stamina combined with a good technique are his main attributes."[88][100][93] In 2015, 1982 FIFA World Cup winner Giancarlo Antognoni described Berardi as "...the young [Roberto] Baggio of this generation" who "mixes creativity with strength. Just like when Platini called Baggio 'a nine and a half.' He must only learn to control his character. At times his temper betrays him but he will learn."[101] In a 2015 interview, Berardi stated that his main influences as a footballer were Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimović and Arjen Robben.[102] In 2017, he revealed that Inter Milan was his favorite childhood team, also describing Ronaldo and Diego Milito as his biggest footballing idols at the time.[103]
